The woman in charge of health for the District of Columbia said at a press conference Monday that there have been no new cases of the coronavirus linked to large anti-police protests in the nation’s capital.
“We have not seen or heard our new cases report their exposure being associated with mass gatherings,” said Dr. LaQuandra Nesbitt. “That being said … we continue to have mass gatherings so that doesn’t allow us to exclude mass gatherings as a … potential source for exposure.”
The DCist reported on the press conference:
Nesbitt said it can take up to 20 days for changes in community conditions to be accurately reflected in the data. It’s now been about 30 days since the largest of the mass gatherings in the District and the data does not show a jump in relation to them, says Nesbitt.
There was understandable concern from local officials and public health experts that thousands coming together in mass gatherings to protest the murder of George Floyd could lead to a surge in coronavirus cases. Many protesters knew the risks but took to the streets anyway with the country in “midst of two public health crises.”
Bowser urged all those who did protest to get a test. While testing numbers have increased in D.C. since the beginning of June, challenges existed in meeting these testing needs and getting results back in a timely fashion both in D.C. and elsewhere in the region.
Nesbitt said “household contacts,” “essential activities,” and other activities that have picked up since restrictions in the district have eased have resulted in new cases.

Great, so let’s open it back up then, since we know now that mass gatherings won’t cause an increase in cases.
I went to a “protest“ at our church On Sunday where we all violated NewScum’s no singing order.
I don’t think our congregation has ever sung louder.
Thanks for that, LaQuandra.
Blessings for all the protesting singers.
So this is proof that social distancing and masks are unnecessary!
Bet your ‘Bippy’ that there will be a HUGE SPIKE for the 4JUL fireworks....HA HA HA
I can just picture PDJT asking for an ‘audit’ of both events etc...
The virus may be burning itself out. See above article.
It’s a long article with many charts. But it’s damn convincing.
In fact, I think that protesting actually makes you immune from COVID. /sarc off/
How many 85 year old protesters with multiple comobidities were there?
Not sure I saw any 85 year olds protesting but I did see a lot of bowling balls with legs and lumps in the front.
...Dr. LaQuandra Nesbitt...
**** .
If this is true, then social distancing is a hoax!
Protesting magically prevents covid according to them?
Yeah..right.
bull shiite
I always believe any LaQuandra I met....
LOL... To bad that so many are so gullible. Because this destroys all credibility in an intelligent world.
Of course all the new cases came from the Trump rally.
Certainly this is proof. We all know that the rioters are so proud of being participants in the riots that they always acknowledge this to the health officials who question them. /s
